Kassia Meador

The nice thing about longboard trips is that you can explore spots that don't get a ton of swell but happen to be beautiful, like Kassia Meador's doing here in the Bahamas.

On location on Sardegna, Italy, for the filming of Jason Baffa's film "Bella Vita," the travel film to be released next month. It included shooting graceful women longboarding in the Mediterranean Sea, and olives. And he doesn't even like olives.

Lola Mignot

What more could you want from an afternoon session? Lola Mignot standing perfectly on the nose, little peeling waves without a breath of texture on the surface and sailboats out the back. Photoshop out those two stand-up paddleboards and it's perfect.
